INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
Office of Safety & Risk Management
Date: June 30, 2023
To: Ronald Burton, City Manager
From: Trameka A. Williams, Director of Human Reso
RE: A Resolution Approving a Property Damage Settlement in the Amount of$11,474.60 for
Damages to City of Port Arthur Police Vehicle#2183
Nature of the request: On May 16, 2023, Police Unit #2183 was stopped at a red light on SH 347 when a
vehicle failed to control speed causing the unit to be rear ended and pushed forward striking the vehicle in
front of it.
Staff Analysis, Considerations: The City has Physical Damage insurance coverage through Texas
Municipal League Intergovernmental Risk Pool (TMLIRP) with a $2,500.00 deductible. TML has offered
the City a settlement of $11,474.60, less the $2,500.00 deductible, making the final settlement offer
$8,974.00 (Exhibit "A" attached). This amount is sufficient to cover all estimated property damages for
Police Unit #2183. If additional damage is discovered, TMLIRP may issue a supplemental payment as
well.
Recommendation: I recommend approval of Proposed Resolution No. 23241 authorizing the property
damage settlement against TMLIRP for damage sustained to Police Vehicle #2183 (2019 Ford Fusion).
TMLIRP has offered to settle the claim for $11,474.60, less the $2,500.00 deductible, making the final
settlement offer$8,97.60. This is considered a fair and reasonable settlement.
Budget Considerations: The funds received will be deposited in the General Fund Insurance
Proceeds Account#001-00-000-4744-00-00-000, HINGF.
